Create empty pages?

Feature requests
1

This is a bit of a strange request.
I was wondering whether it might be possible to implement empty pages in Zola? Pages that have frontmatter, but no content and don’t render a page.

My use case for this is providing a list of links to external resources, that I would like to be able to categories and filter by tags etc. To do this, it would be nice to be able to create pages with the necessary tags and categories etc, that are read by a section, but don’t actually have pages created for them. I would use a url value in the frontmatter to create links to the actual pages on other sites.

I think you could use load_data(…) to do that.

Also, you can create pages with frontmatter and without content, but I think they are still rendered. However, I don’t think there is a way to not render them without loosing access to their front matter as well.

To me it also seems like load_data(…) is easier to use.
